TA DA!! eventually...

Remember this?  

Well....

Last night I hooked the last few rows, wove in the ends, stitched my work into place and for the final finish - I crocheted a single row over the stitching to conclude my WIP.

Hap hap happily  I dressed a cushion in the new cover!  All I had to do was to  reach for the buttons and place them when...... well, I'll show you.

Notice the arrows?
Notice how the darker blue and cream on the right hand side is in front of the other panel?
Notice how the light blue and dark stripe on the left is ALSO in the front but on the top of the photo?
You would not have noticed though how I cussed and stomped off to the kitchen to scowl and complain bitterly to Himself about my stupidity.
I went to bed.

 This morning, after we'd sorted out a few home chores.... I carefully unpicked the stitches and the crochet.

 I then wove in all the cut threads, restitched and recrocheted the edges.

 Then, once again, I placed the cover back onto the cushion, placed the buttons and sewed them fast. Then....

 ...only then, did I stand back and finally mentally say 'Ta da!'

Poor light levels today haven't help the colour quality of the photos but I am happy :)

This evening, with the fire crackling away, a cat asleep on the hearth and me, on the settee with my new cushion cover, I cast on my next project!

Almost done - will share soon :)
